I have been working at Kaiser Permanente full-time (more than 3 years)

Pros

It's great to work in an environment where everyone really believes in the mission and values, and you feel like you're having a positive impact on U.S. healthcare.

Cons

The lack of a performance management culture and clear career paths can be really frustrating, as poor performing individuals stick around (or are even promoted!) and career advancement for high performers can stall. Also many people seem afraid to openly disagree with/disappoint more senior leaders, which can result in "hiding" bad news until problems become acute

Advice to ManagementAdvice

The culture of fear is set at the top, and needs to change if KP is going to thrive. Also to really change the culture, be more supportive of career paths that cross organizational siloes, including between the medical groups and health plan/hospitals.
